REVEALED: Why President Buhari Didn’t Attend Chief Of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru’s Funeral Service
Here is why President Buhari didn’t attend Chief Of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru funeral service.
Since the death of COAS in a plane crash, several conspiracy theories have emerged and still emerging.
Also, meanings are being read to Buhari’s absence in the burial of the late COAS.
The question now is; why exactly was GEJ absent from the burial of Yaradua? Was GEJ quarreling with Yaradua or he was simply heartless?
Here is the the reason:
On Mr President’s absence yesterday at his COAS’s burial?
The most reasonable, and I dare say, most incontrovertible answer is this:
For a President to be at any funeral or event outside the presidential villa, it must have at least 48 hours for intelligence operatives to do surveillance and clearance before the President can go based on the Security report.
In a case where the COAS and his team died yesterday and had to be hurriedly buried today, you don’t expect the President to go there where there is no security clearance.
The minimum time of 48 hours wasn’t met. In insecurity parlance, funeral ceremonies are where politically exposed persons face more risks.
GEJ could attend Azazi’s burial because it wasn’t done within 24 hours.
Security issues and securing the president are not done by emotions or sentiments. There’re laid down procedures that must be followed.
NOTE:
Remember that Jonathan didn’t also attend Yaaradu’s burial which came within 24 hours of his taking oath of office. Jonathan wasn’t quarrelling with Yar’Adua; must be because of the same protocols.
